Disaster Resilient: Future Ready is a national initiative that supports remote, rural and regional communities to lead initiatives that improve wellbeing, increase preparedness and strengthen resilience, so they have greater capacity to endure, adapt and evolve positively when faced with the impacts of climate, disasters and other disruptions.
In Ocean Shores:
The Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA) received support for its Ocean Shores and District Community Information Flooding Map project, a priority identified during the DR:FR roadshows. The map improves community flooding preparedness and resilience and develops community connections and networks.
The Byron Youth Service’s Ocean Shores Youth Response Team (OSYRT) project focuses on empowering local youth to engage in community life and play a role in the disaster preparation process. The project offers local youth five weeks of skills-building and awareness workshops, including sessions from a local Indigenous facilitator.
